Possible causes Solution
Filter element clogged. Change the filter element (see Chapter 9.1).
Only AUTOClean: Clean filter element (see
chapter 8.2).
Monitoring electronics malfunction. Send to a Festool service workshop for repair.
Wet extraction. Functional reliability not affected, no actions
required.
8 Working
8.1 Handling
Hose store: after finishing work, you can
feed the suction hose through the recess [8-
3] and place it in the hose store. You can do
the same with the mains cable through the
other recess [8-2].
SysDoc Systainer attachment system: a
Systainer can be attached to the storage
area via the two slides [8-1].
8.2 AUTOClean - Cleaning the main
filter (only versions with Auto-
Clean)
To maintain a constant suction power when
extracting fine dust, you can adjust the frequency
of the automatic [1-8] cleaning system
in infinite variables using the rotary
knob. Always use the automatic cleaning
system in combination with a disposal bag
(in line with dust class 'M' requirements).
Before performing wet extraction tasks
or working with a filter bag, set the [1-
8] rotary knob to position 0.
Set the automatic cleaning function to the
highest setting when [1-8] extracting
large quantities of dust.
Manual cleaning
If the suction power decreases, cleaning
can be started manually by turning
the switch [1-11] to the AC symbol
positioned on either side of the switch.
We recommend cleaning the main filter
completely if severely clogged:
Cover the end of the nozzle or suction
hose with your hand for 2 seconds.
Turn the switch [1-11] to the AC symbol.
When the CT-VS closing slide is used (order
no.: 497926), the filter can be
cleaned fully without removing the connected
electric power tools.
In intensive applications that generate adherent
dust, it may be necessary to clean the
filter element mechanically under certain circumstances
(extract). Wear a dust mask!
8.3 Special features of the CTM 36 E
AC-LHS
To use the mobile dust extractor in combination
with the PLANEX:
Use the accompanying kink-resistant suction
hose D 36 mm x 3.5 m-AS.
Use the accompanying special suction
sleeve to connect the PLANEX.
Insert the accompanying CT-VS closing
slide between the intake opening [1-2]
and the suction hose.
Fit the tool holder as described in the accompanying
installation instructions.
When performing extraction work with the
PLANEX, always use disposal bags to prevent
dust from escaping into the surrounding
area.
8.4 Extracting dry materials
CAUTION
Hazardous dust
Damage to the respiratory passage
Use a filter or disposal bag when extracting
hazardous materials!
Do not use the machine if the volumetric
flow monitoring function is inactive.
Observe the following when extracting
dust generated by operating electric power
tools:
If the exhaust air is discharged back into the
room, the air renewal rate L within the
room must be sufficient. The volume of air
discharged back into the room must not exceed
50% of the fresh air volume flow (room
volume V R x air renewal rate L W). Observe all
the relevant regional regulations.
